NFL Off-Season Thread

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Shouldn't this be grounds for the NFL to remove Ross as an owner?

I’ve read the text exchange with Bill B about 4 times and I still don’t understand that sequence

Is it a group chat ?

Is Flores referring to himself in the third person?

Brian Flores and Brian Daboll are both named Brian. BB text Flores congratulating him on getting the NYG job. problem is that Flores hadn't been interviewed for the NYG job yet which meant that NYG already decided on hiring Daboll and were going to do a sham Rooney Rule interview with Flores.
 
Rooney Rule: Having a preconceived favorite prior to interviews can not be legislated, but doing a sham Rooney Rule interview after already knowing and deciding you are hiring someone else should be punished.

Offer of money to lose games: Good for Flores. If he doesn't coach to win, intentionally tanks games, and then gets fires after 2 years and a 7-25 record, is Steven Ross going to call all the other owners and say, "do not judge this man for future hiring opportunities based on his record because I told him to lose on purpose". Intentional directives to coaches to lose games should be punished. If you want to lose games intentionally, it's on the GM to make roster decisions to set that up. Tanking a game once it has begun is BS and should be severely discouraged by punishment

Owner asking Coach to tamper with QB on other roster: Clearly this is about Watson and again, good for Flores. He is the coach, it should not be his burden or responsibility to tamper with other players against league rules. Ownership did that specifically to create plausible deniability on their end, so if caught, they could jus say it was the coach acting rogue.

Obviously, points 2 and 3 are going to be very difficult to get traction on in terms of responsibility and accountability unless there is clear text or email evidence

NFL owners are and have always been some shady motherfuckers. Why we as fans intrinsically side with them over coaches and players is beyond me. I suspect a lot of people will be uncomfortable with the race angle to this and will, unsurprisingly, side with the owners and tear down Flores instead.

Okay but the Buffalo part makes no fucking sense to me.

Cuz Daboll worked for Buffalo and Buffalo wasn’t looking for a coach so why is BB saying Buffalo wants either of them ?

Maybe he means like Buffalo is saying Daboll is gone to Giants….

Got it

BB is saying that he's hearing from Buffalo and New York that Daboll is getting hired by New York. BB probably heard from some contacts he has in Buffalo that Daboll is going to get the job in New York.
